Commenting on Adesanya’ s emergence as one of the Top 50, Ofose said he represents the kind of builder the Summit was created to celebrate — a man whose impact is measured not only by numbers, but by character, consistency and ethical leadership.
”Olusanya Adesanya is not just a sales leader. He is a builder of people, of brands and of systems. From Guinness Nigeria to FrieslandCampina WAMCO, his career has been defined by professional excellence and ethical impact,” Ofose said.

“In an industry where results are often celebrated without asking how they were achieved, Sanya has shown that you can deliver double-digit growth and still do it the right way — with integrity, with discipline, and with respect for people and trade partners. That is why he merited this listing. This was not a favour. This was merit,” he added.
Ofose noted that the selection was carried out by The Industry Newspaper Editorial Management Team together with selected brand journalists, based on track record, innovation, leadership, character and impact.
